Functional Safety Leader

As a Functional Safety Engineer, you will be involved in system/ software product development from participating in strategic planning for the group, Partner/ Supplier selection, review Functional Safety Statement of Work (FuS-SOW), Concept design at different levels and stages of development through to production launch. It will involve interfacing with a variety of groups including electrical engineering and mechanical engineering as well as customers and suppliers / technical partners.

The Functional Safety Engineer will support and perform various safety analyses at the system, subsystem and software level. The Safety Engineer will collaborate with design teams in the design of effective technical solutions aimed to achieve adequate robustness at system, subsystem and software architectural level
